Deewaar

This is the story of two brothers, Vijay and Ravi Verma, who follow different career paths: Vijay is a smuggler and Ravi the policeman who is asked to hunt Vijay down. The brothers are the sons of a trade unionist, Anand Verma, who was defeated and disgraced by the firm for which he worked, when after his family was kidnapped he found himself forced to end the strike he had led. Unable to bear the public disgrace, Anand deserts the family; the sons are raised by their mother, who brings them to the city of Bombay and there suffers the tribulations of a poor single mother. Vijay, the elder brother, grows up with an acute awareness of his father's humiliation and is victimized for his father's supposed betrayal of the workers. In the process of fighting for his rights, Vijay, who starts out as a boot polisher and becomes a dockyard worker in his youth, becomes a smuggler and a leading figure of the underworld.
